Tummy Thursday

Last year, the blackberries fell victim to a hungry deer that ate all the flowers. This year, they#re getting ripe and are delicious, so I decided to make muffins.

I googled a basic recipe for cream cheese and blueberry muffins and came up with the following:

1/2 cup of oil

1 cup sugar

4 oz cream cheese

vanilla

1 egg

1.5 cups flour

1.5 teaspoons baking powder

0.25 teaspoons salt

1/2 cup buttermilk

blueberries

OK, I exchanged the oil for butter and the buttermilk for Greek yoghurt (which was only a quarter cup), yet still it seemed to be a lot of liquid, but well, that#s what the recipe said. The taste was delicious, but they did what muffins do when they are too wet: they crawled all over the baking tray.
